There's only one thing that I long for
When I reach that heavenly land
His glory as I go from land to land
when I reach that heavenly land,
and I know, I know, I'll see
Lord, peaceful rest, yes,
without a mother, without a mother,
Oh, without a father, without a father,
we got to make this journey by myself.
Heartbreaking pain, heartbreaking pain,
But our journey here alone,
Without a father, without a father,
we got to make this journey by myself
heartbreak and pain, all left in shame
But our journey here alone,
That I long for in a beach
And I know, I know I shall see
Him in that sweet, yes, peaceful rest
